Farmerama’s community has a track record of engaging in charitable projects, including: a previous campaign with charity: water that raised over $20,000 to build clean water wells in Kenya and Ethiopia; a viral campaign and cooperation with UN Water (a UN body responsible for World Water Day); and events with Oxfam, Plant for the Planet, and many more.
